Hi Tom...I want to switch frames with the Surly Karate Monkey...

I want to build it up with 29r wheels (Salsa Delgados) laced to a 9sp Sram IGH and a Sram generator hub. In an ideal world, I'd switch to drops, but I don't think that's possible with the IGH...so I'm planning on using mustache bars, paul levers, and cantis. I'd like to use front and rear fenders, a chain guard and a front and rear rack.

I'll post photos of the Karate Monkey set up tonight. The problem with the Karate Monkey boils down to it can't take fenders, a front rack is problematic and expensive, the rear rack set up isn't ideal and I HATE the ride. It's also ridiculously heavy, although with the wheels I'm using, it would never be a light bike.
